Death of another Cruiser

[Granite Grinder]

Not having a lot of luck with Land Cruisers in the last couple of years, Tracy had an accident with Iris, my replacement truck for Lily. She walked away after hitting an icy patch on Hwy 6, now we are down to one running cruiser "Red", though she is off the road for winter.

Oh no! Glad she is ok. Dang! another cruiser down.

 

[jvanhove]

Oh no,not another one. Sorry to hear that.
I hope you cn salvage the good bits.

YIkes. Glad everyone is okay. Looks like some beefy chrome headlight trim there, it didn't move where the quarter panel did

 

[Fantom]

Wow, good to hear she's ok. That's a nasty impact on the driver's side. Shame about another truck down.
Maybe you should start looking at external cages for your trucks

Wow Phil! Glad everyone's safe

$2000 beater with a heater for winter use. I don't even have collision on the forester but I do have comprehensive for glass.

Damn, not another one. Glad to hear the no injuries good luck continues though...

BUMMER!!! Good to hear Tracy's okay.

Drop the next one off for an exo cage. I'll even put some UHMW on the top side so the sliding won't scratch the tubes up

Looks solid to me, bummer about the truck, and glad everyone is OK

 

[Antarctican]

Great to hear she's okay, bummer man

Get studded tires asap.

holly cow. crazy.

I'm really glad to hear Tracy is OK, Phil!

It's scary hearing of so many friends having accidents of late.

Dam nasty luck, but Iris did her job.

 

[LanceCruiser]

Sorry you lost another one, glad she's alright.

 

[Ratpuke]

Yikes. Glad she's ok. Next one you write off better be an 80 series.

 

[Granite Grinder]

Thanks everybody for the kind words, hopefully I'll be able to buy her back. Not as many goodies on this one as Lily, but not a ton of rust, the transmission is solid, tires are like new (and studded). Roads have been crap around here, lots of freezing rain and fog. The pu is sporting Nokian studded tires and I was drifting around corners the other night, I would expect it if I was doing more than 40 KM/H.

Sh!t man!! Glad Tracy is fine, metal can be replaced

Oh s***! That really sucks. Like Glen said, get some good studded tires. I loved the studded Hakkas. But got studded Coopers two years ago to save a bit of coin. Still heaps better than any non-studded 'ice' radial snow flaked tire. Glad everyone is okay.
